Bernie is going to run into a lot of headwinds this time.
1. Bernie is not a Democrat. He admitted he joined the party for the 'infrastructure', i.e., money and media coverage.
2. No villains--no Hillary. Bernie will rise and fall on his own--no excuses.
3. He is a millionaire. Pretty difficult to rail against income disparity and promote free everything when you have a couple mill in the bank.
4. He is too old. Time for new blood. Time for someone younger and more in touch with the present and future citizens of this country.
Pete just seems like the right guy at the right time.
Not saying Pete will win but he is getting lots of attention. He mows has to be able to show with policies and reaching out to all groups that he can bring a better future. Not sold that he can do that yet.
I agree about Bernie this is not 2016 and he is not running against the hated Hillary, as you said he is not really a Democrat and he will now have others running with similar positions as himself and much younger that will siphon his support. He is one of the top candidates now but don’t think he will do as well as he did in 2016
"By enlisting in the Guard, his son not only avoided Vietnam but was able to spend much of his time on active duty in his home town of Houston, flying F-102 fighter interceptors out of Ellington Air Force Base."

So you admit, Bush was state side, failing his physicals, missing his drills, while trying to attack Mayor Pete for being in Afghanistan fighting a war ?

Nope, just making up my own definitions like you did.
Whats worse is that your argument was that bush had more experience, which was clearly wrong,
First you argued that Bush served longer, which is a lie.
Then you tried to argue that being on active duty for longer means one has more experience than the other, which is also a lie.
Thanks for proving my point.
